Costco Has A Brand-New Bakery Find Just In Time For Spring

Costco has such a huge cult following that some people dedicate a large chunk of their time to finding and sharing the store's best finds. We owe these dedicated fans our gratitude for posting about the brand new lemon custard pie that just dropped. An Instagram user shared, "The custard is so creamy and velvety smooth. It's sweet and slightly tangy and amazing. The crust on this is so flaky and delicious." It also has a whipped cream border that adds even more creaminess and sweetness to counteract the lemon's tanginess, which not everyone may love. The citrusy take on the classic custard pie is light and refreshing, making it the perfect treat to celebrate the arrival of warmer days.

If you want to take a bite out of this pie, you'll have to dish out $18.99. The price isn't necessarily low, but it does seem fair, especially considering that the dessert is pretty big. If you're not hugely into custard, you can get Costco's new carrot cake instead. While its use of pineapples and raisins is controversial, many customers are saying that it's the best carrot cake they've ever had.

Although there are some great Costco finds, we can't deny that the store also has food products that are definitely overrated. Before you change out of your PJs just to drive to the store for this pie, you should consider if its unique profile fits your tastes. The lemon custard pie presents a balance between sweetness and tanginess. Both flavors complement each other, bringing down the intensity, perfect for those who are not a huge fan of strong flavors. "Oh, it's delicious ... It's not too tart, it's sweet to be honest," a Costco shopper commented on a Facebook post.

Meanwhile, some Reddit users have complained about this dessert not being tart enough. "Having now tried it, I can definitely say that the key lime was superior, but being a custard pie, this one is creamier and [milder]. It is good, but could be a bit more tart," wrote one Redditor. On the other hand, if you're not a fan of intense citrus tanginess, you might do better with a regular egg custard pie. You can even make it at home, though custard is a bit tricky to get just right.

Those who do end up driving to Costco to try its newest dessert should remember to make a list and not shop on an empty stomach. Mistakes like this can end up costing you big time while shopping at this popular store.
